Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 2 | boxes instant vanilla pudding |
| 3 | cups milk |
| 1 | package chocolate-covered graham crackers |
| 1 | cup white sugar |
| 1/4 | cup butter |
| 1/3 | cup cocoa powder |
| 1 | teaspoon vanilla extract |
| 2 | cups whipped topping |
Instructions:
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and 3 cups of milk until well combined and smooth.
-
Gently fold in the whipped topping until fully incorporated into the pudding mixture. Use a hand mixer if needed and beat for about 2 minutes until fluffy.
-
Butter a 9×13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking, then arrange a layer of chocolate-covered graham crackers evenly on the bottom of the dish, covering the entire surface.
-
Spread half of the prepared pudding mixture over the layer of graham crackers, ensuring it’s evenly distributed.
-
Add another layer of graham crackers on top of the pudding mixture, creating a sandwich-like layer.
-
Pour the remaining pudding mixture over the second layer of graham crackers, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
-
For the topping, in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine 1/4 cup of milk, cocoa powder, and white sugar. Allow the mixture to come to a boil, stirring constantly, and let it boil for about 1 minute.
-
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the butter and vanilla extract until the butter is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy.
-
Allow the chocolate sauce to cool slightly, then pour it evenly over the top layer of graham crackers, ensuring all areas are covered.
-
Refrigerate the assembled cake for at least 4 hours, or until the pudding is set and the graham crackers have softened to a cake-like texture.
-
Once chilled and set, slice the Chocolate Eclair Cake II into squares and serve chilled, allowing the layers to meld together for the ultimate indulgence.
-
Enjoy the heavenly combination of creamy pudding, decadent chocolate, and buttery graham crackers in every delicious bite of this irresistible dessert.
